The surgical gowns were manufactured in a facility that is not registered by the FDA.
Samco Bio-Tite Sterile Specimen Container, 120mL/53mm, Bio-Tite Blue Cap Catalog Number: 07 0006 The specimen containers are used for temporary collection, transfer, and/or storage of body fluids and solid specimen samples for the purpose of laboratory testing.
Thermo Fisher Scientific (Monterrey)
Product was not irradiated; therefore, they are not sterile and do not meet product specification.
The feeding spike sets may leak at the interface of the tube and spike connector.
The firm is initiating a voluntary removal of certain spinal cord stimulation leads, lead extensions, adapters, and deep brain stimulation lead extensions due to the "use by date" displayed on the label which is later than the correct "use by date". No adverse health consequence is expected to occur from this issue.
Additive and Arrest Agent Labels on the MPS Top Cover Replacement Kit, a replacement for worn or damaged MPS Console Top Covers for cardiopulmonary bypass heat exchanger, used to deliver whole blood to the heart during open heart surgery, were swapped and incorrectly placed. This could lead to over delivery of potassium by the user requiring medical intervention.

There may be a slightly protruding rivet on the distal end of the laparoscopic grasper which has the potential for tissue to catch on it during use and lead to tissue damage.
The Outflow Graft may be subject to tears and the Strain Relief screw may break during the pre-implant pump assembly and attachment to the HVAD Pump.

Potential presence of elevated endotoxin levels that exceed the specification limit
The analyzers fail on S7950 (Range +) QC measurements due to the hemolyzer cuvettes, a subcomponent of the optical system which measures ctHb and derivates. In a cuvette with light shunt, some of the received light has not been transmitted through the sample. This will lead to a perturbed and non-linear absorbance spectrum which results in measurement errors.
VACUETTE Blood Transfer Unit. Lot no. A19024NX. Expiration date: 2022-02-07 - Product Usage: The Blood Transfer Unit is used to transfer blood from a syringe into the evacuated blood collection tube.

While transferring blood the needle may dislodged and remain in the tube stopper which may cause needle stick injury or blood leakage.
Potential presence of elevated endotoxin levels that exceed the specification limit
Electrolyte reference reagent, used for clinical laboratory testing to determine CO2 in human serum or plasma for diagnosis and treatment of potentially serious disorders associated with changes in the body acid-base balance, has a low pH and may cause CO2 calibration failures, high CO2 quality control recoveries, and false high patient results which can lead to delay in treatment.

The identified problem is an erroneous association between the carrier and the sample tube caused by a communication error between the firmware of the Interface Modules and the Automation software. This problem can occur only when one of these Interface Modules is put off-line after a carrier in their secondary lane is physically returned on the main track and then put back on-line when the carrier is used to transport another tube.
There is a potential for thrombus formation on balloons prepped and staged in the vasculature for long durations. All users, such as those performing lead extraction cases may not be aware of this risk. It was determined that current labeling is insufficient to ensure all potential users minimize the time the balloon remains in vasculature. If left in too long it could lead to embolization.
The firm discovered a potential manufacturing deviation of the yoke of the Body Weight Support (BWS) Light that in rare occasions may result in the yoke detaching from the cable guide.
